Apply for a Landlord Licence

Licences are not transferable. If the licence holder needs to be changed, a new application must be made and paid for. As licences run for a maximum of five years, property owners should give careful consideration to the person designated as licence holder.

1. Apply for a 'fit and proper person' check

First, you will need to apply for a 'fit and proper person' check. 

Apply for a 'fit and proper person' check online

Once this check has been completed, please apply for your property licence (see below).

2. Apply for a property licence

If you already have a reference number for your fit and proper person check (Part 1), you can apply for a property licence online using the form below.

A separate licence application must be submitted for each property with the initial £200 fee - we cannot process applications without a payment. Find out more about fees.

Please make a note of the 'PL' reference number you are given for each application you submit.
